Application filed January 14, 1884 (X model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J. E. COLLINS, a citizen of the United States,.residing at Oak Centre, in the county of Fond du Lac and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Call: Attachments for Anvils; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it apperta'ins to make and use the same.

The object of this invention is to produce a clamping apparatus for attachment to and use in connection with an anvil, for the purpose :5 of holdinghorseshoes while sharpening the calks. This result is attained in the mechanism illustrated in the drawings herewith filed as part hereof, in which the same letters of reference denote the same parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improve.

Fig. 2 is 0 socket O". The front end of the clamp-frame G is leveled at a proper angle tohold the horseshoe in convenient working position, as shown at C in Fig. l.

D is a lever working on fulcrum G, supported by the frame 0, andhaving curved vided at its end 0 with a suitable number of small steel points for pricking into the side of the anvil when the set-screw E is tightened, and the position of the frame is thereby made 0 more secure. The jaws of the clamp should be inclined toa suitable angle with the anvil to facilitate making the calks of the horseshoes of the proper level. With the horseshoe between the clampjaws, foot-pressure on the 5 treadle will hold it firmly in position.

Having explained the construction and operation of my improvement, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-

The frame provided with clamp-jaw and clampinglever, constructed substantially as specified, in combination with an anvil and trcadle, as set forth.
